Sr. Nora's PlaceVolunteers, both men and women, are needed to join the existing volunteer team that takes a hot meal to Sister Nora's Place at Loaves and Fishes. Once a month, two of the volunteers, work together to provide a hot meal. One prepares a casserole main dish, and the other provides a salad, dessert, and a gallon of milk. Together, they deliver what has been prepared. The volunteer team honors a rotating schedule that asks each volunteer to commit to preparing and delivering a meal at least three times a year.

Sister Nora's Place provides long term overnight shelter, care and case management to women experiencing chronic homelessness and mental health issues. You can help Loaves and Fishes, as well as make a difference in someone's life, by volunteering just a few hours of your time two or three times a year.

If you feel inspired by, or feel called to this caring ministry, please email Jackie Mikesell for more information: wrmikesell@msn.com.
